我想問festival 前面要唔要加article?

睇你係唔係 Proper Nouns。
Proper Nouns 嘅話，一般都要加，例如:
Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The festival I like most is the Tuen Ng Festival.
不過唔加都有人用，文法上亦可以:
Do we still have Hong Kong Festival?
如果唔係 Proper Noun，加唔加同普通名詞一樣。例如:
How many festivals are there in Hong Kong?
Ching Ming is the name of a Chinese festival.
Mid-Autumn Festival is the festival I am talking about.

補充一下，關於Proper nouns 應否加 definite article (即 the)是有爭議的。有 grammarist 堅持proper nouns usually do not use articles。

Proper noun 係專有名詞，如地名、人名。http://www.chompchomp.com/terms/propernoun.htmChristmas 當然唔加article，但Easter 有時卻要 the Easter. 有時 proper noun 加不加 article 真的要視乎用法和慣例。

係唔要! festival 前面唔要加article!
